"Bitch, you thought that if I died, you would become the Marquis' wife and you could be together with your adulterer. Haha, your wish has not come true. I am still alive. As long as I am alive, you can forget about living a good life from now on!"

Chen Yinyin's hair was disheveled, and her pretty face was swollen from being beaten. Tears of pain kept flowing as she begged for mercy in a low voice, "Aliang, I didn't do that. I really didn't do that. I looked for you for a long time and couldn't find you. I thought you were also killed by those bandits. That's why I came to Kyoto to seek refuge with my cousin."

"Aliang, I beg you, please let me go first, okay? I'm really in pain. I won't marry my cousin anymore. I want to go back with you and live a good life. Please let me go, okay?"

"Bitch, you still want to seduce me!" Lu Chengliang slapped Chen Yinyin's already red and swollen face. The hatred in his eyes was like a knife shooting at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

Chen Yinyin saw Lu Chengliang's murderous look and trembled with fear. She struggled and screamed, "Cousin, cousin, save me! He wants to kill me, save me!"

Lord Ye looked at his beloved who was crying in pain, took a step forward, and suddenly met Lu Chengliang's murderous eyes. His face instantly lost color and he froze in place.

The look he gave Chen Yinyin became unpredictable.

Ye Qingyu looked at Lord Ye coldly. She knew what he was thinking at the moment, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

I thought he loved Chen Yinyin so much, but it turns out he is just like this.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu and the Fourth Prince are here."

Shen Mingxiu walked in front with big strides, while Shen Yanli was pushed and fell behind.

Seeing the room full of people and in a mess, Shen Mingxiu frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Shen Yanli came to Ye Qingyu's side and looked her up and down. Seeing that she looked normal, he felt relieved and asked, "Are you okay?"

Ye Qingyu smiled slightly and winked at him, "I'm fine, why are you here?"

She knew that he would come today. After all, the future Lord Taishan was going to marry a second wife. Even if he was a prince and a confirmed son-in-law, he should show up.

Shen Yanli smiled faintly and said, "I came to find you."

Ye Qingyu quietly pulled his warm and slender hand, and affection flowed between the two of them.

On the other side, when Lu Qianqian saw Shen Mingxiu coming, she rushed towards him as if she had seen a savior.

She cried bitterly, her clothes disheveled as she fell into Shen Mingxiu's arms, "Your Highness, please save me, save my mother, she's about to be beaten to death!"

Shen Mingxiu didn't react for a moment. The two of them were just this affectionate in private. He hugged Lu Qianqian and patted her back gently, comforting her lovingly, "It's okay, Qianqian, I'll take care of everything."

Ye Qingyu leisurely watched the two people in front of her showing their affection in front of everyone, and she found it interesting. It was indeed true love that could make the cold-hearted Shen Mingxiu so indifferent to other people's opinions.

Seeing Ye Qingyu staring blankly at the two of them, Shen Yanli couldn't help but flash a dark light in his eyes. He said in a cold voice, "Fourth Prince and Miss Lu are indeed in love. However, as a prince, you'd better be careful in public."

Only then did Shen Mingxiu realize that his behavior was inappropriate. He quickly pushed Lu Qianqian away from his arms and looked at Ye Qingyu in panic.

Ye Qingyu calmly held Shen Yanli's hand, her eyes full of interest, but without a trace of sadness or jealousy.

Lu Qianqian was suddenly pushed to the ground. She looked up at the person who pushed her in disbelief, but the person did not look at her. Instead, he looked in the direction of Ye Qingyu.

No, why would the Fourth Prince want to see Ye Qingyu?

Could it be?

No! Absolutely not. He said he loved me the most and would definitely marry her. Why would he care about Ye Qingyu?

Lu Qianqian felt a strong sense of crisis in her heart. She ignored the pain in her body and crawled to Shen Mingxiu's side, crying, "Your Highness, please help Qianqian. Qianqian only has you."

Shen Mingxiu wanted to draw a line between himself and Lu Qianqian, but seeing the looks from the people around him, he knew that his subconscious behavior had completely exposed his relationship with Lu Qianqian. It was too late to say that the two of them had no relationship. If he drew a line between them at this time, it would make him appear despicable. He could only bite the bullet and appease Lu Qianqian.

"Qianqian, don't worry. I need to find out what happened."

He said this to reassure Lu Qianqian. On the way here, his followers had already told him what happened here. He came all the way here with Shen Yanli, and it would be bad for him to leave. Now he regretted being bewitched by Lu Qianqian's appearance and getting involved with this family.

When Lord Ye and Madam Ye saw Shen Mingxiu coming, they were overjoyed as if they had seen a savior. "Your Highness, Your Highness, please help us. This man pretended to be someone else and came to our mansion to frame us and ruin our marriage. Please help us."

Old Madam Ye followed suit, crying and begging, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Qianqian is my granddaughter. Given your relationship with Qianqian, we are also considered a family. You must help us. This person has slandered the First Rank Marquis and deserves death. Please have him arrested!"

Now that she knows Lu Qianqian is her granddaughter, didn't she refuse to acknowledge her just now?

Everyone was disgusted by Madam Ye's shamelessness.

Shen Yanli rarely smiled. Seeing his fourth brother, who always pretended to be pretentious, being harassed and helpless, the slight unhappiness in his heart was actually relieved a lot.

"Fourth brother, since Madam Ye considers you one of our own family, how do you think we can resolve this situation?"

Shen Yanli acted like a hands-off boss, which made Shen Mingxiu angry.

He is the legitimate son-in-law of the Ye family, so how come this is his business?

Shen Mingxiu was furious, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He just had to bite the bullet and agree, "Since the Third Brother has given the order, I will do my best."

A gloomy look flashed across his eyes, and he ordered the guards around him, "Please ask all irrelevant people to leave."

"Everyone, this is a family matter at the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion. Please go to the front yard and have some wine and food."

He drove them away without saying a word. He was the prince, and no matter how much these people wanted to watch the fun, they dared not disobey him and had to leave in disappointment.

Shen Mingxiu looked around at everyone with a warm smile, "Everyone, I overheard a bit on my way here, and I can probably guess what happened. Now that there are no outsiders around, we can discuss anything. Why get so angry? It's damaging the harmony."

The Duke was the first to disagree. "If the Fourth Prince is in charge, he should persuade Marquis Qingyuan to sign the divorce papers and let Qingqing leave the Ye family. Only then will there be something to discuss."

Madam Ye angrily said, "Duke Zhenguo, don't even think about it. Your daughter, who you married yourself, is now dead, and you still want to take her tablet and divorce her back. This is nothing but a disgrace to our Ye family!"
